Three
Chadian journalists jailed for several
months in the capital, N'Djamena, while facing prosecution on defamation and
anti-state charges, were handed suspended jail terms and then released,
according to news reports and local journalists.

Your Excellency Idriss Deby Itno: We are writing to express our concern about the ongoing imprisonment of Chadian journalists on anti-state charges. We believe the arrests of these reporters, simply for writing articles critical of the administration, turn dissenting citizens into criminals and stifle legitimate debate on issues of public interest.
